Will there ever be a more high-stakes action scene?
what
the
fuck
please tell me that's a deleted scene
God this shit is offensive. I hate that they interpreted a more "child friendly" book as being cartoony garbage.
I'm really glad I never bothered to watch the 3rd one.
>>70824463
the hobbit is a children's movie based of a children's book
What the fuck is even supposed to be happening?
>>70824427
Wow, I totally erased that from my memory apparently.
>>70824512
this, do they have magnets in their heads?
>>70824427
how the fuck does a scene like this gets through all the stages from writing, filming, post production and editing without anyone saying that it is utterly ridiculous with no point whatsoever is beyond me
just look at this shit
>>70824507
By that logic, if you hated the movie, you should hate the book.
>>70824512
So I have a theory about this
Im pretty sure both the dwarf and the orc were supposed to have CGI helmets that were never added in. I think those helmets were supposrd to have horns or some shith that lock when they head butt. But thats just my theory, it could just as easily be a super-glue-orc or some bullshit
>>70824463
it is
So we can all agree the Hobbit is prequel-tier shit, correct?
>>70824599
It's almost worse. The prequels were terrible but the ideas came from the same person as the original. The Hobbit crew had a great book to adapt and did it horribly.
>>70824551
Didn't you watch the movie?
The dwarf has a broken-off hatchet permanently stuck to his forehead.
>>70824551
The orc is CGI
>>70824599
I watch the prequels from time to time, and will again in the future.
I will never watch any of The Hobbits again. Ever.
>>70824427
Holy shit, was that in the actual movie?
>>70824660
>Didn't you watch the movie?
No?
I can't watch LOTR because then I would have to watch these too.
>>70824427
Idiots and assholes in charge of film making. Industry, ladies and gents.
I think the action scenes in the first Hobbit had a very good balance of comedy and dramatic action (apart from the Goblin Town sequence but then that entire part was garbage)

>>70824660
>>70824599
Atleast Peter Jackson and the team admitted that they didn't execute it properly.
On the other hand, if George Lucas put literal shit in our eyes he would think people should appreciate it, that's how delusional he is.
>>70824653
and also the prequels had original ideas, just utilized poorly
>>70824762
he should be dead.

>"Hahaha great job boss let's make it happen"
>>70824729
Says who?
>>70824762
Either way the hatchet clearly wasnt in the scene, their foreheads were skin to skin. Also that hatchet probably wouldnt get stuck its not like a hook or anything.
>>70824894
wut it didnt happen?
That fucking jump...
>>70824934
says ii'm not autistic or anything
>>70824729
why would watching LOTR mean you have to watch the hobbit, are you autistic?
if you are I apologise.
Does anyone have a webm of the chariot scene where the spikes on the wheel just explode the fuck out of the goblin's head?
Or the one where Legoland hangs upside down from the bird and solos literally 100+ in 5 seconds?
>>70824427
BRAVO JACKSON
BRAVO

>>70824827
The Witch-king thing was really just a Macbeth style semantic asspull, there's nothing wrong with it. The army of the dead were horribly executed in the film though.
LUCASED
>>70824952
le stronk woman cliche wasn't really a cliche back then.
yeah the ghost were shit.
two moments vs constant clusterfuck movie
just slightly better
I am so triggered right now you must be shaking with laughter, you got me.
>>70825092
>was really just a Macbeth style semantic asspull, there's nothing wrong with it.
ayyy read yourself my man
>>70825131
not trying to trigger you
dont care about cliche or not, is fucking shit.
literally literally on par with "valar morghulis all men must die" " but we are not men".
a shame because fellowship and towers were fucking ace.
RotK a shit.
Never watched LotR, which movie do I watch first
>>70824427
holy fucking shit
>>70825539
Episode IV
>>70824799
>>70824755
I agree with this anon
How did we go from this
>>70824827
Don't you ever insult my waifu ever again.
>>70824427
>People say Warcraft is bad...
>>70825681
To this
>>70825681
LOTR had years of pre-production and production.
Hobbit got fucked and had 6 months total, for everything. They had no choice but to make everything in post with CGI.
You should watch the interviews with Jackson and see how defeated he was with the time he was given.
>>70824762
can't believe i missed that
>>70825723
And finally, to this
>>70824551
Your theory is fucking stupid lad.
>>70825745
fucking this
I felt so bad for Jackson and he took the full force of the criticism for the films when he was the backup just trying to make the films at all.
>>70824512
The dwarf that headbutted the orc has a piece of axe stuck on his head, hence the reason why he only talks in the Dwarvish language throughout the trilogy. It would seem that axe piece also got stuck on that orc when he headbutted it.
>>70825723
>No CGI
Shit, I misremember the Hobbit, I literally thought any combat with more than 5 people was a cgi shitfest
>>70825767
>dwarves sets up line of defense
>elves ruin this entirely by jumping over the line of defense
>>70825745
wasn't The Hobbit in preproduction for years and years with Del Toro and when Del Toro couldn't wait Jackson took it over? Why couldn't he use any of that preproduction?
>watching movie for children
>suddenly bodyhorror
WHAT THE FUCK
>>70825767
wtf nigger why would they leap over the shield wall
bravo jackson
>>70825883
Elves are assholes, the First Age should've taught you that.
>>70824427
DELETE THIS
>>70825863
it was, but only because they wanted the dwarves to actually be shorter than everybody else, which as you can tell in >>70825723 they're actually average height
also
>that dwarf that swings his shield in front of the orc and you can clearly see a gap
>>70824427
were their heads stuck together somehow?
>>70825767
It's funny how none elf get hurt by the fucking pikes or NOT EVEN THEIR DAMM CAPES TOUCH THEM
FUCKING DAMMIT WHAT A MOVIE SHITFEST IT ENDED TO BE
>>70824427
holy shit i'm so glad i never watched these
>>70825900
that's literally the most retarded monster design i've ever seen
it looks like a pirate with two eye patches, two hook hands and two peg legs
>>70825863
The only big fight scenes without CGI were Azanulbizar, the warg chase with that stupid rabbit sled, and Bard's militia fighting in Dale
>>70824551
That's not how filmmaking works.
>>70825767
>have waited fucking years to see an army of Dwarves fight orcs
>Finally my time has come
>I get this
I felt nothing but anger watching the rest of this movie. I don't blame Jackson I blame the studio for not allowing him the time to get everything ready.
>>70824427
It's the Lucas effect all over again.
>>70826070
>full armor
>a poke in a protected body part kills it
Fuck this shit
>>70826149
>full armor
>has gaps everywhere
>>70825767
It looks cool as fuck but why do they jump over the shield wall
>>70825681
Love the color schemes of the battles in LoTR. They were way more gritty and "real".
>>70825659
damn
>>70824496
Exactly
The book wasn't shitty slapstick humor
>>70826149
Orc armor is made of -3 metal, human farming clothes are made of +25 linen
>>70825811
Expect the Hobbit movies were full of embarrassing shit that he didn't need to include. Webms in this thread being some great examples. Everyone can appreciate that Jackson didn't have a lot of time, but he still had control over content, tone and framerate. He signed off on all the shit that plagued these movies.
>>70826419
how the fuck do you do slapstick humor in a book
never forget
>>70825659
This case has beem brought so many times when taking physiolgy and neuroscience classes
>>70826019
and it's beautiful
>>70826493

Magnets
How do they work?
>>70824507
this isn't in the book
>>70826493
>>70825900
>>70825767
>>70824427
seems like it was a good idea to skip the third movie
>>70825316
why would you let 1 fleeting moment, and(I agree) the ghosts ruin an otherwise fantastic movie for you?
Out of 3 great movies why let something like that get to you?
>>70824427
Kids movie...
>>70824427
still better than WC.
>>70824535
Lucas syndrome, director was already part of a world renowned trilogy so no one questions him on the new one
>>70824729
Nigger, we've gone a decade of watching just LotR before this trilogy was even created.
>>70826493
this is actually a good scene
legolas is a literal god compared to everyone else.
>>70825723
>that crude axe of the dwarf at the bottom left
Looks like orc shit.

The Hobbit movies had some really fantastic visuals, it's just a shame they were in service to a half-assed vision of the book.
>>70824427
>inb4 /tv/ contrarians claim that lotr and the hobbit are equally retarded.
Fuck you.
>>70826419
Can someone post that image of g.r.r. martins writing about the Khaleesi taking a shit in a field compared to some other authors writing.?
I'm pretty sure that counts as slapstick.
>>70824940
just admit you're wrong and move on
>>70824535
"Yes boss"
>>70825971
Don't you know that Elves aren't bound to gravity?
>>70825767
if only we could've seen all those idiots immediately get pushed back and impaled on the dwarven pikes
Honestly, I can't think of anyone other than Viggo who could've done a better job as Aragorn.
>>70826096
yeah this.
such a shame these movies were ruined because of basically production-related (money) issues. they know these movies will bank and still pressure everyone involved into making them as quickly as possible. fucking retarded.
>>70828216
At least they got BTFO in the extended edition
I mean it looks terrible but I'll take whatever elf BTFOing I can get
>>70824525
It wasn't in the theatrical cut
>>70828334
>hard cutting from a close shot to a wide shot that ends on the same internal axis as the close shot
That's just bad filmmaking. Did an intern edit this?
>>70826859
Even with all that, what pissed me off most for some reason regarding Frodo, is that he had to be the one to figure out that you need to say "friend", instead of Gandalf.
I guess they made him so pathetic and useless, they needed to give him something to do.
>>70825900
>blades in its thighs that would make it unable to walk
>blinded for no reason
>flails are difficult even for a sighted person to use, this thing would definitely be hitting itself
>tiny little prosthetic legs, a slight breaze would knock it over
>would need to eat as much as an elephant every day, only it has no limbs, so a goblin would personally need to hand feed it tonnes of material
>looks far too complex for a medieval creature to devise and implement, looks futuristic
Peter Jackson is a gore-fetishist retard, he barely managed to contain it in LOTR, but went hog-wild with this shit.
>>70824755
Thats cause Del Toro directed half the movie
>>70828365
>tipping intensifies
>>70828456
No he didn't.
That dwarf in particular has a large piece of metal sticking out of his head, which is why they get stuck like that. My problem is that the tone is all over the place, its a serious battle and you have dwarfs clowning around, and the size of the piece of metal wouldnt allow the Orc to hang on that long.
If you watch this movie as something that isnt suppose to be Lord of the Rings its just a fantasy action movie with no real point, try and keep that mindset if you want to get anything out of it other than rage, the biggest failing of this movie is that its suppose to be the Hobbit, and its just pure schlock. Clearly was trying to be bigger and more epic that Lord of the Rings but it just didnt work at all.
>>70825900
Thats actually pretty cool, shame about the movie its used in, it doesnt feel right at all.
>>70828584
It's impossible for me to view it that way because a couple of scenes in each of the movies are honestly LotR-tier and I really appreciate them, particularly this one.
>>70828334
>gore and blood flying around
>fuckers getting minced on screen
>kids movie
I dont want to see this argument anymore, since this was the real intention and just failed. If this was just some stupid action movie like this guy said >>70828584 this mightve been great, not as a Lord of the Rings tie in, thats why it falls on its face. A violent campy fantasy action movie wouldve been fantastic.
>>70828729
The Extended cut of Battle of the Five Armies is rated R for some stupid fucking reason. I guess they thought adding a bunch of gore would make it seem more adult?
>>70828689
Yes the movie wouldve been better if it was actually about the Hobbit. Such a fucking shame, he did a really good job with the character and its pushed aside for CGI action scenes. the best scenes in all Hobbit movies happen to be the scenes where 2 character are just talking, see the Gollum scene in the first one, that was fantastic, it shouldve been as smart as that throughout, but it shits the bed and turns into an action scene right after.
>>70824427
How is it that Warcraft is considered shit but this stuff is liked among critics?
>>70828793
The Hobbit critically underperformed, man. It wasn't outright savaged but the reviews were lukewarm at best.
>>70828793
Theres a built in hatred towards videogame movies and they receive a more unforgiving criticism. Not necasasrily unfair, but every error will be pointed out if it even has a whiff of something wrong with it.
Someone post the scene of Legoland riding the eagle.
It is literally the worst scene in all of hobbit 3
>>70828793
Because atleast The Hobbit had good acting, great music and sets/armor that didn't look like they were created by cosplayers and toddlers.
Also, there were numerous quality scenes buried beneath all the filler, unlike Warcraft.

>but every error will be pointed out if it even has a whiff of something wrong with it
To be fair, this was true for the hobbit aswell due to the comparisons and expectations set by LOTR
>>70829220
I repressed this scene from my memory
Seriously, what were they thinking
>>70829239
Fair enough yea. That said though, it did itself no favors.
>>70826493
>>70824427
I never watched this one since the first ones were so absolutely shit. Is this an acual scene from the movie? Please don't meme, I really wanna know.
>>70825755
Me either...i watched all three and fucking never noticed
>>70829707
Scene from the extended edition
>>70826859
Book Frodo really didn't have a soul though. He was a boring Mary Sue t b h
>>70824427
Fuck you, I mildly enjoyed the first one
>>70824599
>prequel-tier shit
the only people who think the prequels are the worst movies ever are children and people who never liked Star Wars.
I.e. They were better collectively than TFA.
>>70829220
like legolas' mlg skills are even required here. All you need are a few hobbits and a pile of medium-sized rocks
>>70826677
Yea i see that.

It was the only good one that was near picture perfect to The book with decent OC he rest did MDMA and forgot them self and could stop giggling
Literally stuffing feces into Tolkien's pipe, then lighting it, and finally stabbing him in they eye with it, then pulling his sweater up over his head and pushing him down into a puddle.
>>70824827
I agree. I really don't know why people like lotr so much. It had so much potential and got the look and feel right. But there were way to many things wrong with it for me to enjoy it as an adult. Thank fuck game of thrones came out and actually proved that fantasy genre could be viable
>>70824427
LOL
I only saw the first one of these in the theater before I accurately guessed that they were not worth it.
>>70833203
heres you're reply ;)
>>70826493
Why does the bridge break when Legolas get thrown onto it?
>>70828365
it's actually incredibly jarring.
>>70828334
What's happening here? Who threw the spinning things, and how did they cut through the arrows?
